Review
"This book is an indispensable reference source for anyone interested in having a better understanding of cardiac electrophysiology." - Circulation, review of the last edition
"A remarkable book that lives up to the promise of its title. It is an encyclopedic review of all areas of adult and pediatric cardiac electrophysiology ... Can be used by the trainee as an all-inclusive, in-depth course in electrophysiology. However, it will also be useful to the clinician who needs an accessible reference work ... A necessary addition to the library of every cardiology training program and every electrophysiologist, as well as all physicians with a special interest in arrhythmias." - NEJM, review of the last edition --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very easy read,
By SandyWells "sandywells" (Galveston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside (Hardcover)
From Ion channels in the molecular Genetics of the arrhythmia to the moment you push a patients face in a bucket of ice to convert them, good stuff. So little is still known about AvNode Rentrant tachycardia, Atrial flutter, classic WPW, etc. that it's highly refreshing to see a text like this. We know about Long QT syndrome and the specific genes responsible for this, mostly, and now the ones that have been identified for WPW, but there is so much more to understand. Did the open heart cryoblations hold fast, years later? What are the lasting effects of radiofrequency ablations? We are still experimental in our understanding, yet so advanced. Pacemakers, ICD's, and proper conversion methods for each arrhythmia, the dreaded Adenocard, etc. so much to do and learn, still.

This review is from: Cardiac Electrophysiology: From Cell to Bedside: Expert Consult - Online and Print, 5e (Hardcover)
I have to recertify for EP boards this coming week. I have prior editions of this book and found them too dense in the basic science portions and too scattered overall. This edition was just published, I preodered and received the new edition 2 days ago.This edition is much better streamlined and much better approachable for the clinician in the basic science portions. The sections fit together better to give more of a sense of cohesiveness within each section. The overall layout of the edition seems to make more sense to me. I have already been able read the entire section on Molecular Genetics and much of the section on Ventricular Arrhythmias, especially relatively newer clinical disorders (PCCD, BrS, newer forms of cLQTS, ARVC etc) and have found it readable and informative. It clearly fills in gaps in my knowledge that I haven't necessarily completely followed in a busy clinical practice that makes me much more comfortable to take the recertification exam. This is NOT a review book, by any means. This edition is a much more improved compilation of the current state of electrophysiology. Further, it does not over emphasize the current pressing matters of the day (that you get bombarded with at every EP meeting anyway) such as atrial fibrillation, resynchronization, heart failure or the like. There are other books that cover these topics in appropriate detail (see Ellenbogen's latest Pacing and ICD therapy book for the most comprehensive information you will ever want on resynchronization therapy, authored by Seth Worley, for instance). The section on modeling is cut back (thank you) as is the emphasis on autonomics. The chapter on mapping is brief, but again those are entire manuals themselves. You have to say something about them I suppose, but if you're not already using these mapping systems, you're not going to learn it in a general EP book so it's better not to waste the space. So, after only 2 days of access, I find this a much improved and appropriately updated version of a classic text. I may update this after taking the recertification exam in 3 days.
